John Deere Museum

For the long Labor Day weekend, we drove west to the Quad Cities and hung out with our good friends, the Florys.  We stayed in Moline, IL, and there are MANY family friendly things to do there.

One HUGE hit was the John Deere Museum, which was right across the street from our hotel and was free!

Sam and Gavin had a blast climbing into the tractors.  I was amazed at the size of these machines.  You just don't get the sense of scale by looking at them far off in a field, or in a book.

Gavin was bored, waiting in line to get into this one, so he climbed the tire.  Why not, the treads are as big as ladder rungs!
